Convent of Santa Clara
Convent of Santa Clara was founded in the 16th century by the Canon Mestre Escola da Collegiada de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, Baltasar de Andrade.
The convent became famous due to the fact that the nuns made and saw sweets typical of the city. The convent is a building with a baroque façade, with a sculpture of Santa Clara in the centre. The cloister has two floors and is of a classic style.
Its chapel was emptied in the 19th century, and today part of the gilded carvings are in the Alberto Sampaio Museum. The Guimarães City Council is currently located in this building.
